We all search for products that are either natural or organic. Now you may ask, what is the difference? While several of you may think that there lies no such difference, well let us clear your doubt. There lies a prominent difference between a natural and an organic skincare product.

Organic products are never manufactured using preservatives, sulfates, herbicides, or other artificial or chemical pesticides. There also lies no usage of growth regulators along with moderate usage of antibiotics for proper manufacturing of organic skincare products. Also, proper land management is ensured for developing organic skin care products.
For naturally derived products, along with the above-mentioned inhibitions of ingredients, GMO crops or animals too cannot be channelized for the production of natural skincare products. Moreover, every step of manufacturing should be identical throughout the process.
- Going vegan
Going vegan has become an integral part of healthy living, and more people are starting to incline toward this notion. However, on package signages of ‘cruelty-free’ or ‘100% vegan’ are doing the rounds. However, these do not automatically translate into products being organic or natural.
